This is the tag "Amaya"? I found it when browsing through files in
http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/
Hm... this tag seems to follow the 5.2.8 release? Or have you moved
it to get neccessary bugfixes? Hm... for
http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libwww/Library/src/HTHost.c
the tag has been moved, so I guess the answer is "yes".
I did a
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.w3.org:/sources/public export -r Amaya libwww
Is this the correct way to use the tag? The results seem reasonable
at first look anyway.
Hm... expat wasn't there under modules, but I might as well get it
directly from James Clark. Looks like the HTXML.c file was part of
the Amaya tag.

I'll go with my own tmake generated Makefile, I think. So this will
probably not be a problem.

Good. That would be more stuff to keep track of. But there is a
Windows-specific config.h I need to include in
libwww/Library/src
Is there a different config.h created by configure that I need to
include if I'm not on windows? Hm... no... doesn't look like there is
one in the complete checkout where I've configured and compiled libwww
for Windows. Where is the config.h file included from, I wonder...?

I will make it into a DLL/.so but I will make it into a single .so
like you have done. I will then strip down on the number of files
compiled when I know better exactly what I need (ie. I know already
that I won't need telnet og news functionality, but I won't strip them
out until I know that things work with the full library).
